Abstract
Citation EARSeL European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories, Paris, France BIS-Verlag
Lidar and optical data combined with the
ground-truth measurements from a great number of stations spread across
Greenland and the Norwegian Seas yield a large database partly presented and
analysed herein. The intensities of the emission bands of the lidar-induced
water spectrum, the diffuse attenuation coefficients, and the surface
concentration of chlorophyll a are used to describe the spatial
distribution of the fluorescent molecules in the upper water layer. The characteristics
of vertical profiles of the chlorophyll a content are given as well.
A comparison between lidar estimations of chlorophyll a content and extracted chlorophyll a
from water sampling, and hydro-physical parameters of water is presented.
